I'm not sure that Red Hat allows public rsync access, but you can achieve (basically) the same thing using mirror: http://sunsite.org.uk/packages/mirror/ Mirror is a perl package that can keep nearly exact local copies of ftp sites. It's not nearly as elegant as rsync, and just about any error will cause the transfer to fail, but it usually just works. I've included a sample package definition that works for me. - -- -Matt Do not attribute to poor spelling that which is actually poor typing... - ------------ sample packages/updates - ------------ package=rhupdates71 comment=Red Hat 7.1 Updates site=updates.redhat.com remote_dir=7.1/en/os local_dir=/wherever/updates/7.1/en/os exclude_patt=(\.nfs.*) disconnect=true -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE7zuNEc8/WFSz+GKMRAliQAJ9uCWPtzot8vhxTIMXA+/7F7gXWEwCdGv/q sXTyIaSn9Us7dTAgXCMZbSM= =LOom -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ********************************************************** To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the following text in the *body* (*not* the subject line) of the letter: unsubscribe gnhlug **********************************************************
